Too Red to Die

Who could be on the radar?

Many Cincinnati Reds fans are waiting to find out who becomes the lead-off hitting CF for next season. I have done some searching and while looking at games that had lead-off hitters who played CF I came across players with 5 or more TOB in 2012. Some of the names are never going to happen but a few were mentioned in trade rumors with the Reds at the trade deadline so they might still be in talks now. (Fowler and Span)

Now I know many will ask, why did you not search for guys that had stolen bases over times on base and the answer is exactly the same as what Dusty Baker said during the season. “You can’t steal bases if you can’t get on base.” So, a good lead-off hitter in my mind is someone who can get on base a lot and if he has good speed and can steal a few bases that is just a nice added bonus.
